Can I apply? I can post fewer details if it means I get more annual leave .

Ah, I get it. Yes, my reply in that topic was deliberately like that since the original question in the other topic was vague. I was only pointing you to that link as a tongue in cheek comment .

Receiving spam email doesn't mean anything. I get several hundred a day. I don't know enough about Facebook or Friendster to say any more. What firewall you use?

I just received an email from someone I havent seen for ages and I have been told off from sending the invites regularly. Actually, that may be nothing to do with you. Spammers use other people's email address as the "from" when sending mail so someone else gets all the bounced replies, a...

Put kiwi vegemite on them ...

Between the Dubai Country Club and Al Awir Used Car Market is a stretch of road with a bunch of cheap auto repair shops. Try one of them. I had a dented car repaired there once and it was good enough. The paint was a slightly different color if you looked carefully.

BabyDoll wrote:Now .. how do I upload these damn pictures onto here?

Open an account at imageshack, pbase, maybe photobucket (unless it's blocked), or something similar (search for "online photo storage", and link it in your post with the Img tags.

Don't use flickr - it's blocked in the UAE.

Can you get loans from car dealers? I thought you only got them from a bank or finance company.

Unless it's some sort of under the table arrangement?

Not on mine.

Try 101 and ask them

Excellent!

Here's a few tips on writing a CV.

Good tips . Any comments on above link?

I thought it was a requirement if you wanted a kiwi passport ?

Think of it like this. Taking your car for a service and locking the doors doesn't stop birds from crapping on it.

Try photobucket first. Looks ok to me. Pbase costs money.

BabyDoll wrote:Will fiddle with it over the weekend.

Try one of the tyre shops at service stations. I always buy mine there.

Thanks dog .

Ah, ok. I didn't keep it that long after repair.

cheap_Deal wrote:when did you get yours bonk?

I made it myself yesterday .

I am starting to think perhaps I stayed logged in on this forum too long. Can I be infected this way too ?

No....

Ibis and Novotel are near Emirates Towers. Ibis is cheaper I think. Here's a list of some cheap hotels in Dubai.

Last week Gulf News had a report of some problems with Etisalat.

The phpbb forum is good for that too. Almost anything you want to ask, has been asked there already.

For phpbb3, I guess you'd edit the overall_header.html file in the templates folder.

What Scarlet said. If you want a second opinion... 1. Allow $4k-$6k per month living expenses including accommodation while without job. Add $30k for 1 year accommodation rental if you have to pay yourself (rental required 1 year in advance) for 1 bdrm, $15k for cheap studio. Add $15k to buy medium ...

She doesn't want to move to Dubai. Telling us why not would help. A thought is that she first visit and stay for a week or 2 to check it out and then decide... I second that.
